Kingdom of the Cursed Mask

chapter 4

"I've finally figured it out!" Numbuh 2 announced, coming into the Powerpuff Girls' living room. "I've been making a lot of versions of what those numbers could mean, then it hit me like a lightning, it's a date! A year to be exact, 1456. Now, what happened then?" he then rhetorically asked and continued, showing off his gadgeter genius knowledge. "That's the year the Rosalyn Chapel was built. That is the most important location of the Freemasons and the Templar Knight as well. So the final key to unlock this Cipher must be there. I have a feeling that the numbers will be useful there too."

"Are you sure?" Blossom queried. "As I got it, there are a lot of presumptions here."

"That is true, but you know the only way to be sure is to examine the place," Numbuh 2 replied. "But I have good feelings on it."

"Very well," Blossom stopped to think. "We must keep a low profile to prevent any backfire on us by the President or anyone we split up," she then looked to the others and gave positions to everyone. "Numbuh 2, you go to Rosslyn, take K'Nuckles with you, his experiences might be useful, Bubbles is going with you just in case, Buttercup and I will stay here."

Meanwhile, from outside, someone was watching all along... It was a falcon with binoculars. After the deathly bird saw this, it took out a grappling hook and flunged itself away to report the information to it's superior.

In the Delightful Mansion, the falcon swooped down in front of those children.

"You kept an eye on Dastardly," the Delightful Children greeted the bird of prey. "What do you have to say to us?"

The falcon spoke by doing wing gestures for them.

"We knew we couldn't trust Dastardly!" the Delightful Children snapped. "He gave us the wrong key."

The falcon then continued and did more wing gestures to tell them more information.

"WHAT!?" the Delightful Children grew even more angry. "The Powerpuff Girls are after the mask too! We can't let them find the mask before us. We've been waiting for this too long! We must contact our undercover agent to take care of them gently."

Megaville Elementary School...

"Hey, Double D!" Blossom greeted in the hallways.

"Who's the new girl sitting in front of the school?" Buttercup added with a piqued curiosity.

"She is Starfire," Double D informed. "She and Ed have a very peculiar relationship."

"That girl and Ed?" Buttercup looked disgusted. "What do they have in common anyway?"

"Has anyone tried to talk to her?" Blossom asked.

"We?" Double D looked nervous. "It is completely right up to Ed. He is the one who has induced this position."

Outside, Starfire was still sulking outside of the school.

"Hello, my name is Blossom!" the pink Powerpuff Girl greeted the alien princess with a warm and friendly smile. "Can we help you?"

"I have the feeling of no," Starfire looked to her with a sigh. "Unless you can make me forgive the Ed."

"Look what I found peeking in the bushes!" Ed grabbed his short friend in his arm.

"Put me down, Ed!" Eddy grunted in instant discomfort.

Ed did as he said once he saw who was outside then, folding his arms in fury. "Star, I told you to go away!" he scolded. "I'm not talking to you ever... Except for that!"

"Please, Ed!" Starfire cried. "All I ask is for the chance before I last leave!"

"Um, Starfire, we are kinda confused," Blossom stepped in. "Could you explain to us of your and Ed's relationship?"
